vs national baseline

Maine's DSCR market splits between Portland (premium LTR, restricted STR via 2020 ordinance) and the higher yield interior cities (Lewiston, Bangor, Auburn). Coastal vacation rental markets (Bar Harbor, Kennebunkport, York) produce strong STR DSCR but seasonal vacancy must be modeled carefully.

Major Maine Markets We Serve
